Wheelerism, Whatit Teaches.

As mary persons are prejndiced
against the Agricultural Wheel for
assumed reasons, we will state the
main features of the order, or the
characteristics of true Wheeler.
All will be found to be educational:
/. 1t teaches a closer relation and
brotherhood amongst men, especially
farmers.
2. 1t teaches a higher manhood
and womanhood amongst the labor
ing masses.
3. 1t instructs members Of the Or
der to look more carefully over the
material interests of their households
and farms.
4. 1t teaches economy and sobri-
ETY. in all things.
5. 1t recommends varied farming
and intensive, rather than extensive,
cultivation of farm, garden and or
chard.
6. 1t recommends the growing of
less cotton but more of all that the
farmers consume.
z. 1t recomends the improvement
OF all the animals that supply the
table and that do work on the farm.
8. 1t instructs its members to in
form themselves in all that pertains
to their material, moral and social
relations.
8, 1t ignores all skepticism and
in6delity.
10. Itleaves every member of the
organization to think and act as he
pleases on all political and religious
subjects, and to affiliate, as he
chooses, with such church organiza-
tions and political parties as he
deems proper.
Lastly, it teaches all to rely more
on their own resources, as far as
possible, and admonishes all to be
freeman and not slaves. Ex.

Constitutional Centennial at Phila-

Episcopal, made the opening prayer;
Cardinal Gibbons, made the closing
prayer, and Rev. Jere Witherspoon,
Presbyterian, of Nashville, Tenn,
delivered the benediclon. There is
no other country in the world where,

From letters received in this place there Is state of affairs at present existing il. Springerville, bordering on anarchy. Horse steal ing in that vicinity has been on the increase lately, to an alarming ex- tent. Some persons having stolen three or four horses there a short time since, continued their journey toward the New Mexico line, steal ing as they went, until they struck the ranch of Wright Bros, where they thought to make d good haul. They started to drive off some F or II head, we are informed, from these gentlemen, who were unwill- ing that their property should be so appropriated withOdt their con sent, followed them up, overlook them, and had d little shooting scrape with them, in which no une was hurt. The rustlers thinking evidently that that portion of tie country was becoming rather un- healthy, took the back track-one of the Wrights, with some Mexi- cans, with an Indian for trailer in close pursuit. They pushed the rustlerS so hard that the horses on which they were mounted were about done for when they reached the neighborhood of SpringerviIie. It Is charged that the Graham boys provided them with d fresh mount, which enabled them to elude their pursuers. On tlis charge the Gra- hams were arrested and brought to Springervilie and gave bonds. We are informed that the GrahamS and their friends are now walking the streets of that town, threatening vengeance on all who took an ac- tive part in following the thieves, and afterward in having them ar rested. It Is time our citizens were learning that there Is law by which all communities are governed, and that 1t is best and safest to let that law take its course. It may be

somewhat annoying and a little vexatious, at times, to have to ap- pear and answer frivolous, and of ten malicious charges. Still, it is better to do this, than to resist le- gally constituted authority-pcr- sons doing so invariably get the worst of it, beside earning q repu- tation for Iawlcssncss.

J. T. Mckinney, deputy sheriff.
 returned last night from Navajo
 where tc had been to learn all the
 particu...rs h. could Tn regard L.
 the k,,i;ng uf Lnckhart, Palmer
 and King. IL appears that King
 had lost a mare, and that an Indian
 named Hustine Chec came to Mir.
 Bennctt's store one day riding the mare and refused to give her up. Whcreupon King swore out War rant for his arrest. Lockhart, as deputy sheriff, together with Palm CT and King, undertook to serve the warrant. They found Hostine Chee at his tel ce and served the warrant on him; after which th' Indian wanted to gu and get hi> horse. LUckhait asscnted to this, but when the Indian wanted tr talk, his gun, the officer refused. Ch,c then sent his boy after the horse, and told the boy tJ tell lis uLcl to come with him. Ol the re,u.h of the boy and ulce, with som, other Indians, it k supposed they opened fire on thr whites, and Kill ed Lockhart at once. Palmer and King appear to have made a run ming fight with the indians, as thei bodies were found at least two miles and half from where Lock hart was murdered. Hostine Chet was killed in the melee, and it is supposed that another was mortal iy wounded, as the searching party found dead pony on the trail of the Indians, and where he had been taken up behind another Indian. MT. Mckinney made a formal de- mand on the Indian Agent for the murderers; assisted in burying the dead, and returned to St. Johns, having done all that 1t was possi- ble for him to do under the circum- stances.
